(“Hello, Zack Morris? I thought I told you not to call me here.”)
Green Zone seems like an odd choice for Paul Greengrass, since it looks a lot like The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, in which he also directed Matt Damon. This one’s based on Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone, an award-winning 2006 non-fiction book by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, about the events between the end of the war and the surge and transfer of power to the Iraqis. In the movie version:
Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller is a rogue U.S. Army officer who must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil before war escalates in an unstable region.
Later in the trailer we find out that the plot hinges on Matt Damon finding a source codenamed Magellan. And you know he’s important because Matt Damon is looking at a computer screen that just says:
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN
I’m not in the CIA, but as an idiot layperson, that seems like a pretty good clue to me. Stay tuned for Green Zone 2 when Damon tries to track down the enigma known only as “404 error”.

Oh man. I hope it takes a swipe at Bush and has a really leftist agenda. Hollywood cracked that formula for making profitable war movies.
“Get with the program, dickhead.”
“I’m not in the CIA.” I’m not falling for that one, Vince. Everyone in the CIA says that.
I’m happy to hear that Iraq has an area that’s carbon neutral.
Wouldn’t Magellan be easy to find? Seems like you could just type in coordinates and it would take you to, um, it.
MMMAAAAAAAT DAAAAAAYYYYYMMMMOOOONNNNN!!!!
^Obligatory
Sorry MiZ, but the faulty intelligence fucked up the maps and it just takes you to the Philippines.
Paris Hilton is also an idiot layperson
I refered to my whorex’s snatch as The Grenn Zone.
Odiferous!
I’ve got your unstable region right here
*points to crotch*
Needs more Minnie Driver
Green zone/Emerald City? Magellan is in Seattle.
Greengrass was supposed to do a documentary about David Duke called
“The Bourne Supremacist “
Yeah, but does he wear an Arabic-style camo scarf?
*checks trailer*
Okay, this seems legit.
This is absolutely fucking ridiculous, Greg Kinnear doesn’t look anything like Dick Cheney.
If Matt Damon were any shorter, he’d be in god-damn China.
So I’m seeing on MSN.com today something about a “work spouse” being a coworker of the opposite sex that you bond with and behave with in a way analagous to marriage and it got me thinking . . . is it possible to have a FilmDrunk spouse?
If so I got dibs on Chino. And Al. And Eibz.
And Pauly.
What?
Say ‘Magellan’ again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker.
Ooh, that’s the cop chick McNulty settles down with.
I call dibs on Zog Durst.
I didn’t know swi was a mor
monInteresting. “Rajiv Chandrasekaran” spelled backwards is “Nariamtaliban Vicrushusajar” Anyone else catch that?
With me, “Paul” and “Greengrass” go together like “date” and “rape”.
If he’s looking for Magellan, he should check out Eureeka’s Castle first. That’s where I would start.
I want Glenn (from Oregon), he sounds like a real card!
[slaps thigh, thumbs up]
I got lost in the Green Hill Zone once. That fucking place was weird. There were all these spikes and rings everywhere, not to mention the natural earth formations that formed loops all over the place. The worst part was this asshole blue furry motherfucker. That dick was in some kind of hurry.
Of course, none of that is as bad as the stint I had as a hitman in the Twilight Zone. By the time I got there to do my job, I knew damn well I had been cheated.
Speaking of, Stoney drop dead, o que?
Nah, he started a new
upjob.The still image on that trailer video depicts Matt Damon about to get a swirly.
This is the most disappointing sequel to stuck on you possible.
